I love this!

Speaking for Parts, not from the Parts, is possible when we un-blend from our Parts. When we remain a little separated from our Parts it is possible to hold the intense feeling at the same time as we remain calm, confident, and clear.

This allows us to speak for those powerful feelings from a compassionate and curious perspective rather than being flooded by them, having them take over, and speaking from that intense experience that our Parts are having.

Even though our Protectors have the best intentions for us, sometimes the outcome of their actions might not be the best for us or those around us.⁠

➡️ When you are in the beginning stages of recovery, you need to avoid people who have abused and controlled you in the past.

When you think you are ready to reestablish a relationship with someone who has been abusive and controlling in the past, bring a friend or supporter along. Be aware of your pull toward hurtful situations and relationships. The injury you are recovering from is serious, and you can’t reestablish a relationship until you have the proper tools. Be careful not to get sucked into a controlling situation again because your wish for reconciliation is so strong.

How do you turn towards your child's big emotions?

When your young one acts out, they're likely expressing an underlying need. Dr. John Gottman refers to this as a "bid" for connection. While some bids from your child could look like showing you a new work of art or asking for a hug, they can also take the form of poking, yelling, throwing, repeating your name like a broken record, and a hundred other forms of verbal or non-verbal communication.

While these bids can bring up difficult emotions even for yourself as the parent, remember what your child is really saying: “See me, involve me, hear me.” When you approach their difficult emotions as an attempt to get attention, acceptance, or connection, you can then distinguish the best way to move forward and handle the situation.

On the Gottman Relationship Blog, Childproof Parenting - Melissa Benaroya offers tips to help you recognize your child's bids and strengthen the parent-child relationship through rituals of connection. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3ynikrq
